There’s still lots of work to be done on plans to build a new community and senior center and to renovate William J. Johnston Middle School.

That includes getting the plans out to the public and getting feedback.

The town’s Building Committee presented a site plan of the proposed project to the Board of Education on Sept. 24. There’s no cost attached to the project yet.

“The Building Committee is working on a cost estimate,” Board of Education chairman Ron Goldstein said. “Then that will be presented to the public and the committee will get feedback, After that, the conversation about a referendum can begin.”

If voters approve the work, its completion would be several years from now. Goldstein said spring is the current target for a referendum.

Building Committee members are distributing brochures that explain the project and attending events such as school open houses and the recent 57 Fest to answer questions and provide information.

The new senior center would be located in the former cafeteria area of the middle school. It would include amenities such as a cafe, gift shop, lounge, fitness room, library and hair salon.

The community center portion of the facility would house the Youth and Social Services departments and the Parks and Recreation department. It would occupy the existing two-story portion of the middle school and have space for expanded food bank storage and distribution.

New building planned for the site includes a three-story school addition, which would house grade 7 and 8 classrooms, science labs, specialty areas, administrative offices and a new kitchen and cafeteria.

Sixth-grade classrooms, a gym and the library would remain in the existing school structure.

The project includes new parking lots for both the school and the senior center, and re-built sports fields and track.

Rosemary Coyle, the Board of Selectmen liaison to the committee, said the plans aren’t finalized.

“(The committee members) want to show people the schematics and what they have so far,” she said. “Everything is not cast in stone yet.”
